Those last two lines! What an epigram!This is a sterling example of how a well-constructed poem can lead a reader along the path of thought and leave them feeling they have arrived at an unexpected destination.

Hi Marian ~~I would never have thought of a poem about 'leaking eyes.' I am thinking you are using 'figures of speech' and that you eyes don't literally run. Good guess? If they really do run you need to see your doctor, my diagnosis says.

Our daughter was born with a congenital defect in that her tear ducts were closed. Her eyes did run and run. Before she was two she had tear duct surgery, where the doctor opened them up so the eyes could drain...

oh... no worries. i am okay, though i do have the problem of my eyes constantly leaking, for real, which i need to get checked out :) it's a dry-eye condition. very poetic!xoxxo to you, lovely friends.

these are my words
